Seam Finishes

Lately, sewing for me has been all about making the inside of garments look as good,(or almost as good),as the outside.

I thought I'd show you some of the things I've completed this summer, but from the inside.

Step 4... Stitch the edge of this fold close to original seam line (no photo) . It will look like this on the right side.

The flat fell seam is a very tidy way to finish the inside seams and would work very well on its own without using the Hong Kong finish. But I love the contrast and the look that the Hong Kong provides.

NowI challenge you to give this a try and to take your sewing to another level

GREAT TIP. I am Making a shower curtain for a round rod. What else can I do to make the inside look good as it will be open to the bathroom most of the time. also any finish for the top of the curtain that would look better than just the grommets you see on cheap curtains. Picked Sunbrella fabric as it looks the same on both sides. THX!!!! (11 yards of fabric!!!)
